TBD
We will need a few high-clearance vehicles to access the trailhead. If it is as rough as last year, we might choose to walk the last 1/2 mile to the trailhead. There is some switchbacking across angled slopes on this route. You don't need to be a mountain goat, but make sure you are comfortable with this before you sign up. The photo with this listing shows the terrain I mention.
We'll have wonderful views from the lookout if the weather is good. It's not a route to rush. Hopefully, we'll be able to stop in the book store in Roslyn on our way back to get a cool drink and a sweet treat.
